About This Recipe
By replacing the heavy oil-based traditional mayonnaise with a ‘good’ fats-based avocado version, the nutritional value of this dish increases massively. Walnuts are the ‘king’ of nuts and we could go on about their benefits for ages.
They contain the highest number of polyphenols – plant antioxidants – of any nut, and are high in both mono- and poly- unsaturated fats. Studies show they may be good for cancer protection and diabetes prevention, while they also contain tryptophan, which is a precursor of serotonin and melatonin, the sleep hormones.
Apples meanwhile are full of vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants such as anti-inflammatory quercetin.
Pectin in the apple skin acts as a prebiotic to feed good bacteria and is good especially for Akkermansia muciniphila that help regulate the immune system, strengthen the gut lining and help with blood sugar balance. Stilton is high in calcium and protein while low in carbs. It can add good bacteria to the gut too.
